The invention relates to the technical field of biological
medicine, in particular to a TREM-1 targeted fluorescent
molecular probe as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and discloses a fluorescent
molecular probe named as' TREM-1 targeted fluorescent
molecular probe as well as a preparation method and application thereof '. The invention aims to solve the problems of
large molecular weight, poor pharmacokinetic performance, limited
tissue penetration, high imaging background and poor imaging timeliness of the existing
antibody fluorescent probe. The probe comprises a TREM-1 targeting module (TDM), a near-
infrared fluorescence reporter group, a dark
quenching group and a conformational sensitive connecting arm (CSL). The
fluorescence of the probe is quenched before the probe is combined with TREM-1, and after the probe is combined with a target spot, TDM specific binding induces CSL conformation rearrangement, so that a reporter group and a
quenching group are spatially separated,
fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is relieved, and fluorescence activation is realized. According to the invention, rapid, high-contrast and low-
background fluorescence imaging of atherosclerotic plaques is realized, and the probe is small in
molecular size, strong in tissue penetrability and rapid in-vivo clearing.
